WOW, Mark...that's awesome!!!!! Between ebay and the next Goodwin auction...you could be a few closer to completion!

[sando69]

for all the nice comments!
ted- of course the carolina brights & lenox are probably the most difficult, but i was able to acquire these almost 30 years ago...
our very own rob d. (thanks rob!) has very graciously provided a scan of "the trader speaks" auction page from which my lenox example was won...
humorous to note that the purported condition of yester-year, "vg+/mint," translates today as "trimmed."

Sando the Cobbs are very nice thanks for sharing.


Ted it appears in post #30 that the Carolina Brights, Old Mill and Piedmont 350 all have the same front also it appears the El Principe De Gales and Tolstoi have the same front.

[wonkaticket]

Thanks for the kind words Chris. I need to update images in those posts they sort of lost thunder with no pics. I updated my imageevent sometime ago so sorry for the little red "x".

I will try to update later with better pics.

Cheers,

John

Much like this thread from Ted Z, John (wonkaticket) has had some "legendary" threads in recent history. For those who are new to the board and may have missed them I have provided links below to a couple that should not be missed. John has amassed the type of collection that makes almost all of us, me included, drool excessively. He is one of the most knowledgeable members we have here at net54 and I look forward to each and every time he shares with the group. Bearing in mind that spirited debate and varying opinions are what fuels this board, I wish the quest for truth would outdistance the desire to prove another member wrong or make them feel foolish and therefore less willing to share.

All the best!

I just noticed that one of the Coupon Chase cards has him listed on the front as N.Y. National...he was a Giant in 1919...how could that Coupon be considered a t206??? Feel free to expose me for the fool I am...and thanks.

[tedzan]

These latest lists include all the tobacco backs that these six subjects are found with across the various tobacco issues from 1909 thru 1919.

That is a T213-3 Coupon.

The ongoing debate of T213-1 vs T206 is a different discussion. I think Ted was mainly showing the same pose in different series.

Here are the 26 different brands (1909-1919) that this card of Hal Chase has been confirmed with.
